26:2K-24. Conditions for performance of services
a. EMT-intermediates may perform intermediate life support services; provided they maintain direct voice communications with, and are taking orders from, a licensed physician or physician-directed registered professional nurse, both of whom are affiliated with a hospital which is approved by the commissioner to operate an intermediate life support program.
b. If the direct voice communications fail, an EMT-intermediate may perform any intermediate life support service for which he is certified that is included in written protocols established by the intermediate life support program hospital and approved by the commissioner, if, in the judgment of the EMT-intermediate, the life of the patient is in immediate danger and requires that care for his preservation.
